TIME WARP: 14-Year-Old Brooke Shields Wiggles Into Her Calvins

Brooke Shields‘s most famous Calvin Klein commercial may be the one in which nothing comes between her and her Calvins, but we recently came across another of the landmark ads from 1980 that made the then 14-year-old Shields a bona fide star.

There’s something really charming about Shields struggling to put on her super-tight jeans — she even sounds a bit short of breath as she recites her AP Biology-level monologue (genes!). We don’t love the whole take-off-your-glasses-and-let-down-your-hair transformation to “hotness”, but the ad is clever and provocative.
